Steven Slemer, a Glen Carbon village trustee, said the event is “a good family fund-raiser.”

The parade was one of the homecoming's highlights and started at 5 p.m. on June 16.

Glen Carbon Fire Chief Ralph Well said everyone always enjoys the homecoming.

“We provide a service and love doing the work at the homecoming,” he said. “We have many customers coming in all weekend and it is a great fundraiser. We also get to participate in the parade, which is always fun.”
